Dirk Hartog Island Eco LodgeWestern Australia

In 1616, a Dutch sailor by the name of Dirk Hartog stumbled across an uninhabited island off the western edge of Australia.

More than 400 years on and very little has changed on what is now called Dirk Hartog Island; a 620-square-kilometre patch of rugged paradise inhabited by only one family.

Dirk Hartog Island Eco Lodge is a chance to escape the madness of the mainland for a few days of magical seclusion.

Untouched marine ecosystems make it possible to swim or paddle alongside turtles, whales, dolphins and more. Enjoy the luxury of uninterrupted access to majestic sand dunes and extraordinary wildlife, and skirt the edge of the island鈥檚 spectacular cliffs, where you鈥檒l stand at Australia鈥檚 western-most point, taking in the sheer size of the Indian Ocean. At this point you鈥檒l feel tiny, but you also may never feel closer to the planet you live on.

From AU$2,710 for 5 nights (minimum 5 nights)
